Cigna Still Playing Games, And Our Friend Turns 50 Today

All my Cigna problems seemed to have been taken care of? We spoke with a young woman, and she spoke English, and she went above and beyond to take care of our problem, kudos to Sabrina. My new eobs were to post by 9/16/11, so I gave it until 9/20/11, then called when they didn't appear. Seemed all had been paid, but 7 claims, with 3 different doctors had been coded wrong and Cigna was going to seek a refund? I've been a professional patient for 25 years, never had them "code" me wrong once, it happened over a 3 month period 7 times with 3 docs? For shame Cigna, for shame!

My friend turned 50 today, she is considerably older than me and the wife, and she has lost her mind! She's not full blown crazy, but she is definitely a carrier. We went out with her and her family to Obrycki's to celebrate with an evening of fine food and revelry, it was very nice. Hope she has a nice, fun filled day, and that she is available to share my day when it comes, way down the road.

More Insurance Battles, MS Beat Me On Church Garden

Got my insurance straitened out, if I had medicare part B! Got all new EOB's that said Cigna was paying the "supplemental" portion of the bills, medicare part B would cover the rest. WHAAA? Called them right away, the very nice young girl told me, well that's not right! Waiting for the 15 day period to run for new EOB's to see what's next. In the meantime I had to go to the emergency room, turned my ankle and thought I broke my wrist on the ensuing fall? Just add it to the bill!

Not sure how the church garden went this year? We got a ton of cucumbers, chard and tomatoes, but the weeds have taken over. People are telling me it was great for the first year, but I'm judging it off of what it could have been. It's hard when you have what you think is a great idea but can't work it to fruition like you would have when you were still a viable human. Having a spell where I really miss the old Andy!

Take My Medicare, Please!

Having a horrible time with my insurance company, Cigna. The county switched us over from Mamsi, so that was my "choice". That was the hundredth time they switched up, no big deal, but it didn't go as seamless as it has in the past. Cigna kept sending everything to Mamsi, royal pain, but it all got straightened out, for everyone but me. Now Cigna keeps sending everything to Medicare, which would be fine if I had Medicare!

Here's the thing, I have part A, but nothing else. I didn't know I had part A until after I had back surgery last year, never got a card, no money came out of my check, but I had it starting June of 1999. Cigna keeps telling me, in a denial letter, that I need a copy of my eob, explanation of benefits, to show why Medicare part B didn't cover it. Medicare doesn't issue eob's to people who don't have Medicare! I think I have it straightened out, but it takes 15 days for them render a decision, each time, until then I'm afraid to go to the doctors.
